<hr />
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-4420 is currently contained 150 meters from Site-82 in a localized artificial pocket dimension, housed in Tentative Containment Module #819. Para-technicians have installed a Scranton-Marlowe Topology Stabilizer (or SMTS) to maintain dimensional stability in the chamber.</p>
<hr />
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-4420 is a red Idaho potato with a current mass of 400,000,000 kg and external dimensions of 150 meters by 65 meters by 55 meters. SCP-4420 displays the following ectoentropic properties:</p>
<p>1. SCP-4420 recuperates moisture shrinkage (~5% every two weeks) by generating a random amount of solid potato matter. During this event, a random Idaho citizen's drinking water transforms into starch-rich potato-flavoured water, granting the ability to commune with potatoes for 3 to 10 hours upon consumption.</p>
<p>2. Exposure to visible EM radiation produces potato matter of a randomized form. The new matter relates to potatoes at various conceptual levels, be that immediate or vague. The new matter grows alongside SCP-4420, attaching themselves via esoteric means beyond current agricultural understanding. Observed forms include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Any variation of the 5,000 potato varieties grown globally.</li>
<li>Forms of cooked potato such as mashed potatoes, French cut fries, potato chips, and hash browns.</li>
<li>1996 Idaho County Junior League Potato Sack Race champion Michelle Brown, age 6.</li>
<li>A species of Jerusalem cricket (colloquially known as a potato bug) composed of sweet potato. The entities have colonized ~8% of SCP-4420 to date.</li>
<li>Memetic ennui affecting 25% of individuals within a 5 km radius.</li>
</ul>
<p>3. SCP-4420 displays an innate immunity to decay. SCP-4420 consumes organic irregularities almost immediately after they develop and produces healthy potato matter in their place.</p>
<p>4. SCP-4420 consumes food and organic waste within a 20-meter-wide area. Any organic matter entering this area transforms into a potato tuber of equal mass, which teleports into SCP-4420. Organic matter includes small animals up to 10 kg in mass.</p>
<p>At the time of documentation, SCP-4420 has been growing for ~22 years.</p>

<p><strong>I. May 10, 2019</strong></p>
<p>Field researchers discovered foreign fluid with trace amounts of thaumic contaminant in the local groundwater. Site-82's Command Office initiated <a href="http://scp-wiki.net/scp-3731">Mandate 3731-Ov91</a>, which calls for immediate lockdown and destruction of foreign substances. The area-wide lockdown was successful — not accounting for SCP-4420, due to its containment location.</p>
<p>At 2151 CDT, SCP-4420 absorbed thaumic emission and developed sapience that lasted for a period of 32 hours. During this time, SCP-4420 displayed the ability to manipulate informational constructs. This led to the dissemination of 362 separate SMS messages to researchers on-site. A series of received messages are as follows.</p>

<p><strong>II. May 12, 2019</strong></p>
<p>At 0551 CDT, SCP-4420 ceased all anomalous growth and began to show signs of accelerated decomposition.</p>
<p>SCP-4420 is currently classified as Neutralized.</p>
